Will a gaming laptop run well for general engineering programs?

Engineering and gaming require powerful processing and a superior graphics card, right?
So a gaming laptop is good to use for both? Disregard desktops.

Of course, the laptop is built for much more than what your going to use it for (GEN) so it should work like a charm! Probably better than most.

    yes if it has a powerful graphics card, a good processor and 4 gigs of ram it’ll get the lob done

    you may want a workstation card rather then a gaming card but your on the right track

    I’d say so.

    AFAIK if you’re planning to use things like CAD3D you’re usually after a laptop with a fast processor and a workstation-based graphics card, like the Quadro and FireGL series.

    But normal gaming graphics card work just as well.
